Laphroaig is undoubtedly the best known single malt whisky distillery on Islay, the Scottish island known for its peated, smoky whiskies. The Laphroaig Distillery was founded in 1815. Over the years, Laphroaig has released many distillery bottlings, and many independent Laphroaig bottles have also been released. Some bottlings received very high ratings.
Laphroaig is one of the few distilleries that still has its own malting floor. The malt is dried over a fire there, fired with peat from their own peat fields. Nowadays, this home-made malt only accounts for 10% of all malt used by Laphroaig.
For many, Laphroaig whisky is the first introduction to 'smoky' single malt whisky.

In 2012, this special Laphroaig single malt whisky appeared in an edition of 3000 bottles at the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth. The 18 year old peated Islay malt is creamy and has a complex palette of flavors that are nicely balanced. (48%)
Another stellar release in the Symington's Choice range. Laphroaig 1997 matured for over 25 years. Smoky, fat, medicinal and powerful. No subtle whisky here. The whisky aged in a bourbon hogshead, even though the colour would suggest a sherry influence.
This is the 2021 edition of a 25 year old Laphroaig single malt whisky at cask strength. These bottlings of the firmly peated Islay malt always score very well. Due to their age, the smoky character is somewhat milder. Matured in bourbon casks and at 51.9
A fantastic Islay classic, that's what you can call this Laphroaig! Distilled in the early 80s and then matured for 32 years in 'old-fashioned' sherry casks. The perfectly sherried single malt whisky has, due to its age, a milder smokiness. (46.6%)

The smaller the casks, the greater the influence of the wood. That is certainly the case with this Laphroaig which has been finished on small quarter casks. This yields a nice, full and complex dram, with the famous 'smoke and peat' from Laphroaig.
The Laphroaig Select is a lighter, softer single malt whisky than other Laphroaigs. By finishing on American new oak, there is a bit more sweetness and vanilla than, for example, in the Laphroaig 10. The Select is therefore a great entry-level Laphroaig!
Maritime, medicinal, salty and smoky. You only need to taste these notes, and all the others in this whisky, to know that Williamson single malt whisky is indeed Laphroaig. This Archives-bottling matured for 8 years in a bourbon cask. Bottled at 65.5%!
